Her Love and Revenge

Anahi’s POV      ***Don’t forget about us Anahi, my love, blossom into the alpha we know you are*** I stir awake at the same time as every other morning. I looked at my phone to see the time was 3 a.m. I’ve had the same dream now for the last month. It was nothing but light and the softest mothering voice saying the same thing every time. Why did I keep having the same dream over and over again endlessly? What did it mean? Did it have a meaning or am I just reading too far into it? At least it’s the weekend, I wouldn’t have to go to school or deal with anyone in the pack. I hated waking up with my mind completely filled with questions. Lately, it seems like I have more questions surface from my endless sleep rather than the feeling of being rested. I can’t help but feel like I am missing something and as the days go by that feeling amplifies. I decide it’s finally time to get up for the day. ‘Enough procrastination’, I think to myself as I feel Elara, my wolf, start to stir. I smiled sadly. Elara has been one of my best friends since I was eight. Usually our wolves don’t wake until we’re fifteen but I shifted at just eight years old. My parents. They were amazing, to say the least. My dad was the Beta of the Silver Moon Pack, he always put his heart into the pack. Even when he didn’t agree with Alpha Matias, he would always stay professional and make sure the pack was always taken care of. Everyone could always depend on my father. I never heard much about my dad's life before my mom.  My mom, she was a uniqueness in itself. She was born an alpha, which she so gracefully passed onto me. Before her and my dad found each other, she resided in Blue Moon Pack. My mom was very secretive about everything. It was very obvious she didn’t trust anyone in this pack. Rightfully so.  She and father never really talked about things in front of others. They would wait until we were in the safe confinements of our home. I never understood why we didn’t live in the pack house like the other ranked members. I would always ask, but mom would always tell me that one day I would know everything. I never questioned further, my mother had her way of making it known that the conversation was over. Mom always seemed to be on guard, especially around Alpha Matias. I always thought it was due to her being of alpha blood, she didn’t like the thought of answering to someone else.  It hurts to think about my mother, knowing that she wasn’t happy in this pack. Unfortunately, since my father couldn’t become the alpha of the Blue Moon pack, mom ended up giving her position to her closest friend Kalei Edevane. Mother always talked so highly of Alpha Kalei, even talking about him would bring a genuine smile to her face. We spent quite some time in the Blue Moon Pack. The Silver Moon Pack was nothing compared to the Blue Moon Pack.  The Silver Moon pack had a dullness to it, hardly anyone was happy. You could feel the gloom just by walking around the pack grounds. Alpha Matias was greedy with both money and power. Everyone knew it but no one would ever dare say anything to oppose him.  Alpha Matias scared everyone in the pack to the point where they’re too scared to stand up to him to get the bare minimum that they all deserve. The only people I knew not to fear the alpha was mom, dad and Alpha Kalei. They didn’t agree with how the alpha did things in the pack.  While all the pack members lived in houses that hadn’t been renovated at all since being built, he lived in an all-out luxury home that could pass as a mansion. No clue why he thinks that he needs a house that big, since he only has his chosen mate, Siya, and their son Aibek.  They only cared about flaunting their money instead of helping the pack. The grass was brown everywhere due to lack of care. The alpha really didn’t seem to take care of the pack very well. That’s why it is nothing compared to the Blue Moon Pack. The Blue Moon Pack brought peace to my soul, even as a child I understood the difference between the meaning of an exemplary alpha and an egregious alpha. Alpha Kalei has always been an amazing alpha. No one in the pack was hurt by anything. Alpha Kalei owned many businesses which helped him support his pack with more they could ask. Every member lived in really nice two-story houses, they looked like they came out of a home catalogue. He even sent me and my parents money knowing that we were barely making it due to low finance issues thanks to Alpha Matias. The Blue Moon Pack was absolutely prepossessing with how beautiful it was. The grass was a breathtakingly vibrant green and the woods surrounding it were more than alluring. I still remember the first time I went into the woods. That’s where I met the most important person in my life, Xaloc. It was just a normal day at the Blue Moon Pack. We went to go visit Kalei and meet his sons, Xaloc and Quill, for the first time. Xaloc had never been around anytime we had went to go visit Alpha Kalei, since a young age, Xaloc had been put through Alpha training to make sure he was prepared to take over as alpha once Kalei was ready to step down.  We became best friends immediately. We use to always hang out until Alpha Matias had banned them from the pack, so we had to start going over to the Blue Moon Pack in order to visit Alpha Kalei, Xaloc, and Quill. I was 6 when me and Xaloc finally met.  I smile as the memory comes back to me. *Flashback* I woke up to mom and dad arguing. I quietly get up from my bed and try listening. Mom sounded very upset, it sounded like they were talking about Alpha Matias.  “I don’t trust him to know about me, Asher. I have worked so hard to keep my wolf concealed from this pack. You know how power hunger Matias is and me having the wolf I do would be a trophy to him” I heard mom yell. What could they be talking about? I thought to myself. I hardly ever hear mom this upset. I started walking down the stairs to see what was going on, but as soon as I got to the bottom of the stairs, the conversation came to a halt. I decided to just act like I didn’t hear anything as it clearly seemed that this conversation was supposed to be private. Mom sees me and puts a smile on as if she wasn’t yelling a couple seconds ago. “Hey honey, how are you feeling today? Sorry if we woke you” she says as she makes her way over to me and hugs me “Good morning mom, dad. I didn’t mean to interrupt you guys.” I say as innocently as I can. Of course I was able to fool them being so young. I’ve always been mentally more mature than others.  Mom started getting breakfast ready as we talked about our plans for the day. Sounds like we will be going to see Alpha Kalei today. That alone made my day, I loved going to visit at the Blue Moon Pack. Alpha Kalei use to come see us all the time but Alpha Matias had banned him from coming. Mom and dad wouldn’t tell me why even though I knew it was because mom made everyone think that she didn’t have a wolf. Mom has told me since a young age that no one could know about her wolf. Only dad and the Blue Moon Pack knew about Belinay.  I love it when mom lets Belinay out, she is the most majestic wolf I’ve ever seen. Belinay’s coat was such a vibrant silver color that it shines in the moonlight and the tiniest speak of blue shimmer. She was bigger than any alpha wolf that I had seen.  Mom and Belinay were both so beautiful and strong. Mom would talk about how they had powers, I’ve only seen mom use them a few times since she doesn’t want anyone finding out exactly how powerful she is. As soon as we get done with breakfast I go up and get ready to head to the Blue Moon Pack. On the way, I could feel the tension. I couldn’t help but feel like there was another reason for us to go visit.  An hour goes by quickly as I look out the window and see the beautiful scenery that is the Blue Moon Pack. No matter how many times I come visit the scenery takes my breath away every time.  As soon as dad parks the car I waste no time in getting out. “Honey you need to wait for us” I hear dad yell as I get to the steps of the pack house. I was so excited to finally see Alpha Kalei and meet both Xaloc and Quill.  Moments later Alpha Kalei showed up on the front steps beaming with the biggest smile ever. “Hey there Anahi” he says as he pulls me into a hug which I accept happily. After we all greet each other I see Luna Celeste come out with a little boy. “Welcome back guys, I hope your guys’ trip was okay” Luna Celeste says as she reaches down for the little boy. “This is Quill our youngest son” she says  I walk over to Quill and introduce myself. “Hi I’m Anahi” I stick out my hand to shake his but was surprised when he hugged me. He looks at me smiling “We are going to be great friends” he says without wasting a second.  I noticed that while me and Quill were talking our parents were in a hushed conversation themselves. Soon after noticing Alpha Kalei turns to me and Quill and tells us we should check out the forest, I let Quill lead the way.  Once we got into the woods I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was the most beautiful scene ever. It looks like we stepped into some mystical forest. Everything was so green and the trees looked eternal the way they towered over everything so strongly grown.  The air was so fresh, I almost forgot Quill was with me. Being out here in the open woods like this stirred something in me. I could hear every crunch under our feet as we walked around the woods. The flowers looked freshly bloomed even though it was nearly fall.  As we were walking I heard someone not far ahead of us. Who else could be out here? I thought to myself. I was starting to get nervous. If it was rogues we were screwed, neither of us could shift to protect ourselves.  As I was about to turn around and head back a young man not much older than us steps out from behind a tree not far ahead of us. Wow. He looked absolutely handsome. I think I just found my first crush.  I couldn’t stop the blush that appeared on my cheeks. Once he saw me he smiles walks over “you must be Anahi, I’m Xaloc” he says sticking his hand out for me to shake. I got stuck for a second, but quickly shook his hand.  “what are you guys doing out here alone?” He asks looking past me to Quill. “Dad told me to show Anahi the forest” Quill replied to Xaloc. We all three hung out in the woods for the rest of the day and that is how we became the best of friends.       *End of Flashback* I was brought back from my flash back at the sound of Elara’s voice “I miss them too” I smile at her and feel my eyes tear up. I haven’t seen any of them in the last few years because Alpha Matias didn’t let me leave to go see them.  After my parents died I visited them more often but after a while Alpha Matias started keeping me from going to see them. At first it wasn’t too bad but eventually it got to where I could never get him to agree to let me go. I stopped trying after a year of being told no.  I don’t understand why he doesn’t want me visiting the Blue Moon Pack, he always says that’s its because hi and Alpha Kalei aren’t on good terms but I can tell that isn’t the full truth. Since he’s my Alpha I can’t defy him.  Thinking about this causes me to hurt, I have no one now due to loosing my parents and not being able to see Xaloc, Quill, and Alpha Kalei. It has been hard the last ten years. After finding out that my parents were murdered everything changed for me.  Now I can’t even enjoy my birthday because it’s a constant reminder of my parents’ death. “Hey don’t think like that please, you also got me on your birthday” I hear Elara say. I smile agreeing with her. I can’t help but think about how this birthday will be different. Since I turn eighteen today I am suppose to find my mate. I honestly am not excited about it just out of fear that it will be someone in this pack. Not just because mom made me promise to get out of this pack but also because everyone in this pack had hated me since the day my parents died.  The day they died everything for me in the pack changed. I started to get bullied even abused. I know what you’re thinking, I didn’t fight back because I can’t let anyone know about Elara. That was the one thing both of my parents were absolutely adamant about.  I never understood why, I have tried asking Elara but she always says that I will find out when the time is right. I know. Not very reassuring. Mom always said that I would have a very powerful wolf.  Therefore I simply just put up with the abuse and appear to be weak and wolf less. I learned how to conceal my wolf from everyone in the pack and at school. I’m hoping I don’t have to do that very much longer.  Graduation is in a couple of weeks and I’ve been saving money to leave the pack. The money is just a back up just incase I can’t find somewhere to stay. I thought about going to the Blue Moon Pack after graduation but I’m scare they’re upset with me for not visiting.  I just need to find somewhere to live that is secluded to no one can find me and I can let Elara out every once in a while. I can’t really let her out very often especially with the patrol guards that are everywhere. My parents house is close the boundary line of the pack lands.  With my birthday coming in just two days I start to get down on myself knowing what I will be going through emotionally. “One thing that you could look forward to is finding out who our mate is” Elara says with full of excitement.  I just smiled, I know how probable it is for us to get rejected. I have been bullied and abused for the last ten years now, I’m the outcast of the pack. It’s funny how one thing can change everything for you. Even the way that people treat you. I never understood anyones hatred to me.  I never did anything to anyone, that I can think of anyways. I actually use to be really close with the future alpha, Aibek, Alpha Matias’ one and only child. It hurt the first day that he treated me like was nothing.  I really thought that he’d be the only person to not turn on me but alas I was very much wrong. Quite the opposite actually, he is the one who treats me the worst. He’s even gone as far as physically abusing humiliating me, especially in public for everyone to witness. With all of these thoughts in my head I decide to go out and try getting some more sleep before going on a run tonight to let Elara out for a little bit.  Xaloc’s POV I get out of bed not being able to get any sleep and head to my fathers office. In two days me and my father are sending Quill, my little brother and future beta of the Blue Moon Pack, to the Silver Moon Pack. We haven’t been allowed to see or talk to Anahi for ten years now.  Alpha Matias had early on prevented us from coming onto his pack lands. We never knew why but we had our suspicions about it. He never really liked the fact that Anahi’s mom, Lani, wasn’t effected by the alpha command. When he had asked my father about it, my father refused to give any information out.  According to my father the late alpha, Alpha Makaiah Stone, didn’t want anyone but those they trusted with their lives. He knew the danger in the wrong people knowing about Lani. Dad had vowed to always protect her. If there was anyone dad loved other than his mate, my mom, it was Lani. They grew up together becoming the best of friends, wanting to be each others mates but it didn’t turn out that way, however dad never cared he still vowed to always be there for her and to protect her and that’s exactly all he’s done.  When Anahi stopped coming to see us we knew that that pumpus ass alpha, Matias was preventing her from coming. We knew everything going on from the abuse to the humiliation Anahi faces day after day ever since her parents died.  The day of Lani’s and Asher’s death they had came to warn my father that Matias might know Lani was a special wolf. We tried figuring out when he could’ve found out but we couldn’t come up with the answer to that. Anytime Lani needed to let Belinay out she would always come over here.  I had never seen Lani and Asher this scared. They brought Anahi to drop her off for the night as we would have multiple sleep overs with Anahi. However, that day was different. It was as if they knew that someone was after them.  Anahi’s parents both asked my father to keep an eye on her no matter what it took. No one was to find out that Anahi was blessed. We had only a guess that she was a blessed wolf. Anahi at such a young age was very intelligent.  It’s like any information that she obtains engraves into her mind. She is also very strong, I’ve had my few shares of losses against her when training. I know she must be even more stronger now that she is older and has been training all these years. My father promised that once she turns eighteen we would go get her and bring her to Blue Moon pack. That’s what has gotten me so nervous lately. I can’t help but to questions whether she will want to stay with us or if she will even remember us.  I could only hope that she will remember us, both Quill and I will be going to the Silver Moon Pack a couple weeks after her eighteenth birthday to get her. We would go sooner but the alpha in me just knows that would Matias suspicious.  With Matias not allowing Anahi to see us the last ten years makes us super cautious about granting Lani’s and Asher’s wish. We tried getting them to agree on letting Anahi to just live with us but that would’ve started a war between Blue Moon and Silver Moon. Since Anahi was born on their pack lands that means we would be kidnapping a pup, the alpha has to give permission to letting a pup live in a different pack and since we didn’t want Matias getting suspicious about anything this is the way we are doing things. I was brought out of my thoughts by Quill entering our father’s office, “can’t sleep?” He asks taking a seat on the sofa across from me.  “I can’t get my thoughts together, I want everything to go right but I have this feeling that something is going to happen and I can’t tell if this something is good or bad.” I exhale looking at him “Don’t think about it too much man, there’s only so much that you can control. You shouldn’t try thinking so hard about things you can’t control, just know when it comes to we will handle said situation when it occurs.” He says wisely He has always been much wiser than me which is why he will be the beta instead of me choosing someone else, that’s a headache in itself.    “I can’t believe that we will be seeing Anahi again after so much time. What are the odds that you guys are mates dude?” Quill says enthusiastically. I glared at him, knowing such thoughts are nothing but helpless fall hopes. “Man you know better, things don’t work out that way for me. I’ve always had the craziest luck with life” I say with distain. I could only dream that Anahi would turn out to be my mate. It wasn’t such a farfetched idea when we were younger and we hung out all the time. When I was younger I would always swear that she would turn out to be my mate. As this thought came into mind I looked over at Quill. “You ready to finally bring her home?” I nervously question, knowing how delicate this topic is for him.  Him and Anahi had became friends before me and her since they met first even if it was only minutes longer than me and her but that was the thing about her. She was so captivating to this around her.  “I have been counting down the days for the last 10 years, I have planned everything accordingly” he sighs looking distraught.  “I know that this will not be easy because father already thinks that Matias already suspects something about Anahi, which makes sense as to him demanding that she stay with him on Silver Moon Pack lands. We have to tread lightly especially if we want to get her out of there without any big situation.” I say knowing that there will at least be some kind of pushback.  Upon saying this Quill gets up to leave but not before turning to me “we will get her out of there at all costs, I promise you Xaloc, I will not let her stay in the clutches of Matias” I just nodded smiling knowing he meant every word. Quill and our parents are the only ones who know that Anahi is the only one I will ever love. I grab the photo of me, Anahi, Quill, my parents, and hers. ‘I promise we will be there to get you soon Anahi’  Quill’s POV I headed out of Xaloc’s office with one thing in mind. Perfecting the plan to get Anahi out of that god forsaken pack. We always thought growing up that we would have a great alliance with Silver Moon Pack, fortunately for us we got to see their true colors 10 years ago. I don’t remember much from that age however the one thing that will always be engrave in my heart and memories is the love we all hold for Anahi and her parents.  Anahi was my only friend at such a young age, she accepted me as a friend without any hesitation and put her all into those around her and that was absolutely mesmerizing. The thing that hurt the most our of all this though was the way Xaloc changed. Even though we had only known her for 4 years ,before she was ripped out of our lives, Xaloc was absolutely captivated by her.  The day Xaloc and I found out the Anahi wouldn’t be allowed to see us anymore thanks to Matias, was the day that we vowed to pay him back for that and so we trained everyday for years. Even now we still train, that is all we’ve been able to do, especially knowing everything that Anahi has dealt with in that pack. I still remember the first day me and Xaloc found out dad had implanted a spy in the midst of Silver Moon Pack without their knowledge. We were happy to learn news of her but infuriated when we heard what he was reporting to father.  *Flashback* Xaloc and I were running around the pack whenever we saw a mysterious man lurking around the forest lines. We at first thought it was an intruder until we got closer to the man and noticed that father was standing there talking with the man.  I found myself questioning why father would meet with a man outside of his office if he needed privacy. Seems like a lot secrecy just to meet up with one man. I could see Xaloc was thinking the same thing. We want to know what is going on but we had to get to training. As we turned around to leave we heard the name of the one we loved and missed dearly.  Anahi. As soon as we heard her name we froze in our spot, why would they be talking about her in private? Me and Xaloc both scooted closer to hear better. If had anything to do with Anahi we had a right to know. I don’t know why but anytime we asked dad would just change the subject, it started pissing us off. I held my breath looking over at Xaloc I could tell he could barely contain his anger. He’s been more torn up about this than anyone else due to the bond the two shared. Father and mother have had to keep an eye on him to make sure he wouldn’t sneak out. He did one time just to go see her, they caught him before he could.  We etched closed listening tentatively.  Dad: how is she doing? Spy: she isn’t doing so good alpha, she is suffering quite a bit. They bully her all the time and abuse her. Neither the alpha nor the luna try to stop any of them from hurting her.  Dad: I’m going to slaughter the lot of them. At my father’s words I could feel the rage radiating off Xaloc. He was ready to kill, I couldn’t blame him either. I felt the same way. Why the hell would they even treat her that way? She was the sweetest most pure soul out there. Before I could say anything to calm Xaloc down he shifted and ran. Dad turned at the sound of his snarl. No one could do anything about it. We knew exactly where he was head. To Anahi.  *End of Flashback* I was brought out of my thoughts as I heard my father approaching me. I knew exactly why he was meeting with me, he wanted to make sure we do everything to get her out of there. There’s no talking to Xaloc about it especially when it involves him feeling like he was being questioned on being able to protect Anahi.  “I came to make that everything was ready and prepared to go to Anahi in a weeks time. I know Xaloc won’t be able to be there right away, but at least she will have you by her side until we can get her here.” He breathed out tirelessly. These last few weeks have been rough for all of us due to planning everything to perfection. He looked at me and nodded before walking off. Little does my father know I won’t be waiting a week. I'll be going to her in a few days. I just have to wait for my messenger to get back from his delivery. Alright, time to start getting things ready.
